Trophic rewilding can expand natural climate solutions
Natural climate solutions are being advanced to arrest climate warming by protecting and
enhancing carbon capture and storage in plants, soils and sediments in ecosystems. These …

Impacts of large herbivores on terrestrial ecosystems
Large herbivores play unique ecological roles and are disproportionately imperiled by
human activity. As many wild populations dwindle towards extinction, and as interest grows …

Substantial light woodland and open vegetation characterized the temperate forest biome before Homo sapiens
The extent of vegetation openness in past European landscapes is widely debated. In
particular, the temperate forest biome has traditionally been defined as dense, closed …

Megafauna and ecosystem function from the Pleistocene to the Anthropocene
Large herbivores and carnivores (the megafauna) have been in a state of decline and
extinction since the Late Pleistocene, both on land and more recently in the oceans. Much …

Grassy ecosystems in the Anthropocene
As the Anthropocene advances, there are few parts of Earth that have not been impacted by
human influence. Humans have had a long-sustained interaction with grassy ecosystems …
